Things that Fly (Record Release!)

Heidi and Karen met when their girls were in preschool together. They started guitar classes at the Old Town School and met for “play-play” dates–the daughters would run around and the moms would strum. In 2011, a nearby food pantry invited them to perform at their inaugural fundraiser. Around that time, Heidi overheard her daughter giggling about “rainbows, unicorns, and Things That Fly!” The band was born.Heidi SerwerHeidi is the brave one. Raised on tofu and roller disco, she fearlessly mines her emotional depths when songwriting. Heidi has released three solo albums: Stranger (2014), Let’s Talk Awhile (2018), and Palm Tree on the Drywall (2022).Karen SalmonKaren is the intense one. She loves cowboy coffee, 10-hour hikes, and writes lyrics in the bathroom (no interruptions). Karen released a solo EP in 2016 and her second one is due out Fall 2023.Christopher ElamChristopher is the other one. He plays five instruments and never stops composing. He is also a singer-songwriter, sound engineer, producer, and owner of Number Thirteen Studio. Christopher has self-produced three solo records.
